the amount of sodium in cambells soup is absolutely bonkers. even if you follow the instructions for the condensed version to the letter, and water it down by 66%.
canned soup in general is pretty wild in the US, but the campbells flagship soups (chicken noodle, tomato, etc) are wack. which usually means the other ingredients are such utility-cull quality, they would taste like styrofoam without all that salt and fat.
imo its an apocalypse/ emergency food ration for surviving exposure.
I’ve often thought about all the sodium that goes into our products since my dad has to watch his intake with his heart. Like when he went on a special diet of low sodium half the grocery store was cut off from him. I imagine it’s going to catch up with me someday.
I’ve been paying closer attention to saturated fat and sodium lately, and it’s wild. Even bread has extremely high sodium here.
That said, I’ve found a lot of things I can easily make at home instead, and I feel a lot better having homemade soups.
I love fresh, homemade soup, but Campbell’s is gross. The meat looks, feels and tastes like chunks of an animal that died months ago and hasn’t quite rotted yet only because of the amount of preservatives in it.
Progresso is decent. The meat seems fresher, anyway. I can eat it without wanting to vomit for days.
That reminds me, I should buy some soup ingredients.
I once tried “american style mac & cheese” and it tased like pure salt and water. And that is supposed to be the big culinary hit?
lol, i wouldn’t call ezmac/velveeta mac n cheese a culinary hit exactly lol. it’s just cheap and convenient, so its on the shelves and in the pantry.
its ancestral dish is a bechamel/mornay sauce based pasta that uses cheddar, so if executed with its traditional ingredients as a light roux mother sauce, its pretty badass.
but the industrial variant is cheaply powdered everything with added salt so it can sit on a shelf for years and ready to reconstitute in minutes.
At my local poverty grocery store they sell off brand Velveeta… It’s labeled “cheese loaf”.
What, canned? If it’s properly made you just melt a shitload of cheddar into a roux and you’re done
not canned like pre-prepared.
EDIT: Something like this
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
And the roux version is inferior imo. I like using the sodium citrate used in boxed m&c or American style cheese, but add mozzarella or proper cheddar, a hard cheese, and milk. That shit is fantastic. The US has plenty of great relatively modern dishes but you can’t expect to get anything that does them justice off the shelf.
3D printed meat. How do you bliat print meat now, folks?
Campbell’s (NASDAQ: CPB) stock crashed more than 3% on Monday, November 24, after a former employee alleged in a lawsuit that the vice president and chief information security officer, Martin Bally, was mocking “poor people,” ridiculing the company’s products, and making racist comments about colleagues.
Typical
bourgeois behavior.crashed
3%
shut up shut up shut up!!!
How the fuck does a soup have a stock I do not understand this economy. Hello yes I have just entered the casino and I would like to bet on soup. What does it mean???
You gotta have a stock if you want a good broth
Shareholder of soup? Fucker do you have a spoon in hand???
Oh I’ve got a spoon alright
how the stock market actually works in practice is of course a bunch of arcane bullshit but i dont see what’s not to understand, in concept, about a company that makes soup in particular being listed on the stock market, as opposed to any other given company
When you look at food like a human right or an essential service, it does seem weird that they’d be on the stock exchange. It would be like if you could invest in firefighting stocks.
i made soup a few days ago but nobody speculated on it. artificially depressed the gdp
It’s the company called campbell soup.
Nestle and water really.
campbells is a big food processing and distribution conglomerate business, they own all kinds of brands in the processed food/big ag world, including campbells soup.
name a better duogreenwashing galore
Soup for my mutant family.
Wasn’t this just some dumb stupid shit the CEO said, just describing reconstituted meat (like chicken nuggets)?
that’s what I posted in the other thread that I, with no research, assumed is what happened. I really don’t know what else he could even be talking about because if we could “3d print meat” from like, nothing, well, hello animal free meat, vegans! but that’s not happening, so…
the stock market is real and good
Looks like it still has about 30 bucks left to lose before it reflects its true value.
Good buying opportunity
Buy the dip, and the broth.
Sure it’s that and not people having to choose betwen the roof over their head or feeding themselves as they work multiple jobs.
